The rule of two isn't a "rule" of the story. In a storytelling concept, breaking the rule of two isn't a fucking plot hole because it doesn't break the laws of the universe. Not to mention the rule of two has basically never been strictly followed. You don't care for the direction they took the story, that is 100% fine. I don't give a shit. I just think it is silly to judge the work based on 2 years of hype that didn't get paid off rather than the story the writers want to tell
Like I said I'm not sure how I feel about the movie. But you, like stupidkid, like to put words in peoples mouth so you can try to argue a different point than the one that was presented to you. It's fine if you are unable to have a real conversation, but I recommend you just don't post if all you are going to do is misinterprete and then essentially argue with yourself.
Once again. The most powerful sith we've ever seen, just somehow goes unnoticed for decades because............? That's bad storytelling. However you want to try and justify it lol, it doesn't matter, you're not going to change my mind, or the minds of anyone else, unless you actually have a valid reason or theory as to why/how that might have happened, like the one I actually put forward, that you lost your shit over. Just saying, na, it's the best bra, it's good, no worries, is not having a discussion, it's you just tooting your own horn, like fucking always.
I thought it was an okay movie, but there was lots of stuff that either didn't make sense or that was just outright bad writing/story-telling. Here's a couple things off the top of my head, there are more, but there's a reason why this movie was only okay, when it could have been great.
Leia using the force for the first time ever to survive outside in an environment that would instantly kill anyone (this is not debatable, that's fucking science), was just stupid. Hans dice force disappearing was a pointless and stupid thing. Han never cared, believed, or practiced the force, why the fuck would a symbolic Han token be a force item? As has been discussed tons of time by other people, the entire Fin/Rose story was pointless, and that was upsetting after how pivotal he was to the story in Ep. 7. In fact, if hey would have just staid put, and not been complete idiots, they wouldn't have gotten 2/3s of the remaining resistance killed. I LOVE Del Toro, but it felt forced and pointless, and that was upsetting. Once again, that didn't make sense either. Here's a jail with 20 odd cells, lets throw all 3 criminals (the only 3 in the entire jail), into the same fucking cell. Be reminded this is apparently one of the most lavish/beautiful places in the world for the richest of the rich. If they got thrown into a cell, it'd be hotel room, and they'd have their own. How shitty the cells were was fine, but putting them all in 1 made no sense. Why he was chilling there when he could have walked out at anytime made no sense either.... Why he knew about the rebels fleeing on evac ships made no sense, since it wasn't part of their fucking plan, why would they tell him? There's just a lot of things throughout the movie that were like eh.... It wasn't terrible, but it could have been better, and as is the case with most Disney films, they seemed more concerned about marketing merchandise throughout the movie, vs making a movie that was just WOW. We'll see how they finish it up, but expectations are diminished, and I understand why it got such terrible fan ratings, even though I thought it was entertaining enough and enjoyable, even if it had a lot of eye roll moments throughout it.
E - I explained why it didn't make sense, it's not because Snoke is dead, I don't give a shit about him being dead, it's because he was alive in the fucking first place. Really can't make that anymore clear than I already have.... that could be explained by him still being alive in Ep 9. I do think he'd be a much better antagonist than whiny fucking Kylo, but I also don't mind if they keep him dead and Kylo leads the way, it's just another example of an eye roll moment if they at least don't explain where the fuck he came from. Also fine with him staying dead if they just find something, or if Kylo talks about where he came from or his history or anything to give some closure on something that otherwise is lazy/bad writing.
